Despite having not yet announced his candidacy, many are seemingly already considering Texas Gov. Rick Perry as the man with the best chance to defeat President Barack Obama in 2012.

Under his stewardship, Perry has created more jobs than any other state in the country in recent years. The Dallas Federal Reserve estimated that all of the jobs created in the country in the two years from April 2009, a low of 37 percent (2009) to high off 48 percent (recently) were created in Texas.

Perry also supplies substance-starved citizens with a deep-rooted belief system. From the surface, his deepest views have not changed much since his early days in a cotton-farming community in Paint Creek in the 1950s.

"We believed in God, we believed in taking care of ourselves and one another, and we believed that America was the greatest nation on earth," he wrote in the preface to "Fed Up," the book he wrote last year.

Perry’s book, “Fed Up”, will be a cool add-on to his campaign roll out and too perfect, since it speaks to the single issue voters care about this cycle. This means book sales will increase poll nummbers even more. His.

All I can say is that I had a long talk with my Uncle when he came up for a visit from Texas. He warned me that Perry isn't what he portends to be....that's enough for me as far as I'm concerned. According to him Perry is rather quick to appease those with whom we might disagree....

I see no reason to forego the election cycle, but I do think that the too many conservatives in the running has the effect of dividing up the support and making Romney appear to be running better than he actually is. And media perception is a huge issue.
